Growing up, I heard stories about my great-grandfather, or his father being Cherokee/Choctaw, and I am trying to find the truth in this. My great-grandfathers name is Edward Bench and was from Elgen, Ok, but I don’t know how to trace it any further back. If anyone has any information on if this man is a member of either tribe, or can tell me how to find out who his parents were, please help me!
